Kate Summers's career on the Police Force came to an implosive end when she was outed as a noted Domme. She now subsists at the fringes, scraping by as she feeds off the misery of others. Catching cheating spouses for divorce lawyers has become her paycheck, and a case brought by the woman who destroyed her career will bring many challenges. To follow the leads and solve a murder, she must reenter the world that cost her career and change roles. There's only problem, she swore she'd never submit to a man—at least never again.

Kate loved her job as a cop. She was one of the best. She also thrived in the kinky lifestyle as a dominant. When her private life is exposed as deviant and disgusting, this rising star because a shooting star. Kate is not a phoenix who rises out of flames reborn. She is now barely surviving as a private investigator. She has also run far away from the lifestyle because of all the trouble it has brought her. When she is offered a chance to cover her bills and work on an investigation with the police, she has mixed feelings. To come in contact with her old colleagues as well as re-entering the lifestyle may the final act to her destruction.
The setup of this story is intriguing and caught my attention. This sordid tale of betrayal turned out just okay for me. The characters did very little to draw me into the story; I felt nothing for them. Kate has issues--issues that launched her to be a service top in my opinion, not a dominant. There is nothing wrong with this, just not my thing when the story twists her into a reluctant submissive. Pet peeve of mine--taking dominant women and showing them what they really need is the right "man" to bring out their sexy submissive nature. I know many switches; I myself am a switch. However, I decided to be a switch, no one had to convince me. Kate's situation is different and I understand it is a plot device to cause tension, conflict, angst, etc. For me, it did not work well and I am not impressed.
Let's talk about Jake. Jake is an arrogant pushy asshole. He can be charming but his attitude and how he corners Kate into being his submissive is appalling for me. Regardless of his supposed intent, I did not buy what he was selling. Have I seen this in real life? Definitely. One of the male dominants I know is known for picking on completely dominant women and trying to "show them the errors of their ways". I do not like it in real life and it carries through to how I felt about it as it was executed in this story.
The BDSM club is a nice romanticizing of a club. Definitely what I consider glitterkink. I wish clubs like this existed for me but then again, I probably couldn't afford it. Still, it is nicely described and I could visualize the club with the vivid descriptions. From a suspense and romance perspective, this is a nicely written erotica tale. From BDSM perspective, it did not work for me because of my pet peeves. This erotic suspense is recommended for kinky readers that enjoy an alpha males who know how to put a female in her place - on her knees begging.

Changing Roles
By: Ellie Masters
5/5 stars
First the author does an extremely good job of outlining the fact that this book is fictional and how to actually pursue BDSM if the reader is inexperienced. She points out that this is an accelerated timeline and that relationship that ensues between the characters takes months to build, not the week that characters do it in. The author is knowledgeable in the “safe, sane and consensual” rule that guides BDSM.
This is a debut book, but it absolutely does not read like a debut novel. There are none of the overused clichés or over-the-top stuff, that seems the route many new authors take. This was well thought out, planned out and meticulously executed.
Kate Summers had to rebuild her life after her secret nightlife proclivities came to be public knowledge. She’d worked hard to become a homicide detective, but lost it all in one fell swoop when a well-to-do prude didn’t think that her being a dominatrix was morally in line, with her job to protect, serve & investigate crimes. So for the last 2 years, she hung up her whip and her moniker of the Mistress of Pain and has focused solely on her new business of being a Private Investigator. She really only has 2 friends, one who is also her current employee and the other her former detective partner, Pete. He was the only person from her past to not only remain in contact but to still be her friend. But a new case sends her back into the debauchery she used to revel in and has missed.
Jake Davenport has recently returned home after a hiatus in California. He returns to Stripes and hears stories about the legendary Mistress of Pain, but he has never seen her in action. When she returns, he’s extremely intrigued by her, in all ways that a person and man could be. He’s shocked that he’s turned on by her and physically wants her, since she’s a Domme and he’s a Dom. But he can’t help his attraction and his yearning.
When Kate’s case leads them to a place where Jake has connections, she’ll have to count on him to help her out and she will have to change her power role to be able to do the necessary investigative work. It’s not some Kate is entirely comfortable with, but which Jake relishes. They have to trust each other and work together if they’re going to solve the case and save lives.
There are some dark themes in this book, but it doesn’t center around them. I like detective novels with romance and romance novels with detective work. I was thoroughly entertained and glued to my kindle. I wish there had been another chapter or ten, but then I would have been waiting even longer for the book. There were some points that I didn’t feel were wrapped up, so I’m hoping that there are more books to come from this series in order to satisfy my OCD, need to know!

asbestos underwear recommended!
Kate is a Domme in the true sense of the word. As Mistress of Pain, her whip-and her words can bring any slave to the most intense orgasm of his life. Except there's one crucial difference. Kate gets no sexual pleasure for herself from her "scenes"
She thinks of Domination as her therapy. Sexually, her tastes lean in other directions. Down roads she can never allow herself to travel.
Until she meets Jake. a Dom unwillin and unabkle to submit to Kate's whip. A Dom who wamts to lead her down the paths of her darkest desires.
This book was one iof the hottest Ive read. With characters that crawl under your skin and keep you up at night worrying about how they'll handle the twists ahead, Ellie Masters will certainly be on your Authors to Watch list.

The intricacies of the plots contained within this storyline are exciting.
I was immediately taken with Kate Summers, a former detective whose career was ruined by Mayor Westmoreland and his wife Catherine after Catherine discovered Kate’s penchant for dominating men at night as the Mistress of Pain at a club called Stripes---leaving her no alternative than to become a private investigator and open a fledging agency when she was forced out job she loved.
When the Mayor and his wife come to beg Kate for help in solving the uniquely sadistic murder of their daughter, Elizabeth---who was found naked and strung up to rafters in a warehouse bearing belts and ligature marks around her neck---Kate is lead back into the lifestyle she shied away from when her career ended, re-emerging as the Mistress of Pain to investigate the tragedy.
In her quest to uncover leads in the case, she discovers a need for an introduction to a club called The Edge, where Elizabeth was last seen. To complicate matters, she discovers the only way to enter The Edge is to be collared, chained and attached to a Master.
When an edgy, intense scene with a male submissive, Bryce, gets out of hand, Kate’s lifetime membership at the club is threatened—her only way to retain her membership, and continue with her investigation, is to agree to be re-trained under the tutelage of one of the owners of the club, Jake Davenport---not only as his submissive, but as his slave---whose membership will also give her access to The Edge.
This story has everything…intrigue, excitement, lust, love, murder, twists and turns that you will not see coming. It had me drawn in from the very first page, right to the last. I am in awe of Ellie Masters.

This book!!!! Freaking Wow! As an introduction to Ellie Master's writing, Changing Roles is a brilliant and somewhat intense insight into the world of BDSM. While I have read several books in this genre, this was a well written, knockout story unlike any I have read before and I floved it!! Changing Roles was not just about the kink, there is an actual story and what a suspense-driven, thrilling story it is. Total Win!
A tragic and devastating past transforms Kate into a force to be reckoned with on the police force and a highly admired and sought after Domme. However, when the outside world comes crashing down on Kate, she’s judged and shunned and her aspiring career as detective comes to an abrupt end and so does being a Domme. Two years later, the same person who created her humiliation and destroyed her in more ways than one, needs her help in a personal way: help solve a murder. To do this, Kate has to literally open her "closet". Putting on her white leather like a second skin with her Domme persona intact, Kate sets out to bring law and order to solve a murder that has brought her even darker past to light. Enter the debonair Dom Jake Davenport who becomes ensnared in the Mistress of Pain’s aura on the first night she steps into Stripes.
When Dom Jake and Domme Kate met, holy hell! This book became so, so much more. The ATTRACTION (yes shouty capitals a must) between the two was so hot and intense in so many places. I can honestly say my heart thumped hard and yes I squirmed in certain scenes..lol! OH SO HOT!! But where Ellie Masters’ excelled in this story was in the depth of feeling in her characters and their transformation throughout the story. Jake is a to die for Dom even if his complexity is a little damning. While, Kate has dimensions within dimensions, she is one hell of a lady. My heart bled for Kate in certain scenes and in others I cheered her on. For me the most memorable thing I took away from this story is that trust supersedes everything in BDSM and that this lifestyle is not for everyone. While this is just a story, Ms. Masters does make the avid case that for some, BDSM does provide a place for some to exorcise demons that live within without the fear of repercussions.
Changing Roles has a steady pace and builds from the very start. Every character you meet in this book is intriguing. Let me just tell you, that Ms. Masters needs to write more about several of the couples from this book. I would love to read more on Bryce or Lily or even Mitzy. The only thing I might have had issue with is the very end….it freaking ended!!! I wanted just a little bit more. I leave you with this little sensual morsel from Changing Roles...and yes go out and buy this good read...I think you will agree it’s more than just 5 stars!
“Just like our first time, he held me with the power of a verbal binding. I latched onto his command, my submission unfurling from a place deep with in me.”

I could only give 5 stars but Changing Roles deserves 10 stars! I Am constantly asked what my all time favorite book is. Until now my answer has always been the same. "There are to many I love to pick just one!" I love and read all genres of books. I'm what I call a bookaholic! I can now truly say that Changing Roles is my all time favorite! I have been an avid reader for over 38 years!
Ellie Masters has a smooth and unique writing style that is all her own! She captivated my attention and imagination from the first page to the very last page of her book. I read it twice over the last 2 days and had to let my mind calm down before I could write this review! Her characters come to life on the pages before you. Their stories are strong, captivating, and full of energy.
Changing Roles is full of plot twists and turns. It has drama, murder, rape, Loss, Love, passion, Hope, despair, trauma and triggers for PTSD, courage and fear. It has Alpha males and females. It has Dom's and the subs who adore them. It has Master's and the slaves who serve them. It shows that BDSM and the Dom-sub or Master-slave relationship is about more than just pain or getting your kink on! A true relationship between them is about trust, about giving and receiving pleasure, it's about keeping each other safe and grounded yet at the same time allowing each other to be who they are and letting them fly!!!! It truly takes a strong person to give up control and submit to another. To truly give everything you are or ever will be to that individual. Just as it takes someone with a kind and caring heart to be an excellent Dom or Master. Pain and pleasure do go together if you are with that ultimate partner no matter which role is yours! There are some who use the term Dom or Master that are truly evil and only wish to give pain and to destroy those they dominate. Ellie Masters has captured all of this and so much more in Changing Roles.

AN AMAZING DEBUT NOVEL FROM ELLIE MASTERS…A DARK, TWISTED, EROTIC, AND SUSPENSEFUL!
FIVE-STARS!
Dark and twisted… Ellie Masters’ CHANGING ROLES was not only erotic with a mastery of passion of pain to pleasure of one’s body, but emotion too.

FIVE-STARS!
Dark and twisted… Ellie Masters’ CHANGING ROLES was not only erotic with a mastery of passion of pain to pleasure of one’s body, but emotion too.

Changing Roles by Ellie Masters
Jake & Kate
PRETTY GOOD
4 Stars
Well peeps, this is Ellie's debut book, but you'd never know it. It reads like she's been writing for years. It's dark, it's gritty, and it's full of so much suspense it'll make your head spin. It has a tough heroine, a sexy alpha, and a plot thick with suspicion. What more could you ask for.
Jake Davenport can be my master any day. He's part owner in the exclusive BDSM club Stripes and he's completely taken with Kate, a.k.a. The Mistress of Pain. He seems to have a long road ahead of him in the "Kate" department. Get Kate to like him, check. Get Kate to "pretend" to submit to him, check. Anndd... get Kate to believe in him, double check. Wow, what a ride!
Kate is a Domme, but has been out of the scene for quite some time. When the people who destroyed her career come calling for her help, she has no choice but to get into character and become The Mistress of Pain once again. Kate is an extremely strong female lead character. She never backs down even when she knows she should. I liked her persona, but felt like she could have been just a tad more susceptible to Jake in the beginning.. but that just me!
Good supporting character cast. Loved Pete! Seriously that dude should be like 400 pounds. Every time he enters a scene, he's eating a damn donut for cripe sakes! The Mayor and his wife, eh... they can kiss my ass for all I care. I woulda kicked their asses outta my office in the beginning.
This is a darker read, but not too dark. It's suspenseful and keeps you guessing till the very end. The dialogue flows and does feel natural, but the pacing was a bit slow for my taste. There was plenty of tension leading up to the climax, but I just felt that it took too long to get through all of that. I still liked it and I think it's a great story, just felt it could have been shortened by 150 pages, but that's just me! Great debut novel Ms. Masters I look forward to more books from you!

Most likely, if you are like me, you have read Fifty Shades of Gray or something similar and enjoyed them for what they were. Consider them kindergarten compared to Changing Roles, this book has much more kink and a great story to go with it. Imagine if Fifty Shades and Law and Order had a book baby, this would be it.
Kate was once a submissive to a man who took things way to far. Since then she has mastered being one of the best Dommes there is. This talent also got her kicked off of the Police force where she was also a well respected Detective. Now she has her own Private Detective agency, that all of a sudden is in high demand. The Mayor's daughter,Elizabeth, goes missing and she is hired to find her. The best place to start looking for her is the club to which Kate belongs, Stripes. Jake is the part owner of Stripes and has his eye on Kate and wants to make her his submissive. As chance would have it, the Mayor wants Jake to work on the case as well. Jake has to break her if they are ever going to work together undercover at Edge, an exclusive club and the last place Elizabeth was seen alive. When Jake gets accused of the crime and with his past coming back to bite him it's Kate's turn to try to save him, unfortunately that puts Kate in the crosshairs of someone set out to destroy Jake and his business partner. With the story so intertwined you just never know who to root for.
This is not a typical book for me to read, that being said I was pleasantly surprised at the detail to which this book was written. The scenes were written so that I felt as if I was there, sometimes that made me uncomfortable, sometimes it intrigued me. The love story so rich and well woven that I felt the strain between them and by the end, I just wanted them to be together. I felt invested in Jake and was so engrossed in how he developed into a man that I would love any of my friends to be with. I may not be into the Dom/ Sub lifestyle but I feel like I walked away from this experience a little more educated and certainly intrigued. I hope Ellie Master's continues to write, because she definitely has me hooked.

If I hadn't of know ahead of time, I never would have suspected this was the author’s first book. It was very written (not that new author’s can’t write) but often new authors haven’t mastered a personal style that keeps readers glued to the pages. Ms. Masters “Changing Roles” will definitely hold your attention and keep you turning the pages.
Kate Summers was a homicide detective with a secret life as a dominatrix known as The Mistress of Pain. She was good at both aspects of her life and took them both very seriously. Then one day it call comes crashing down. Kate’s secret life comes out and she is forced to give up her detective career as well as her nightlife. Kate rebuilds her life by becoming a Private Detective; the only link to her past is her former partner and friend, Pete. But one day a case comes along that forces Kate to bring back her Mistress of Pain persona.
Jake Davenport, a Dominant Male, begins hearing stories about The Mistress of Pain, that peek his interest, but he has never seen her. When he finally does, he finds himself physically attracted. Jack also happens to be Kate’s #1 suspect.
Kate’s case leads her to a place she has to count on Jake and his connections to get her inside. But to do so Kate has to “change roles” in order to investigate. Jake is thrilled at this while Kate is not. Can Jack and Kate trust each other and work together in order to solve the case? And what of the personal attractions, can Jack convince Kate he’s worth “changing” for? And what of Kate, will Jack prove his innocence to her as well as convince her to give a Dominate male a chance? This reader loved the book and hopes there are plans for a 2nd one to built off this terrific base! 2 Thumbs up for an awesome, suspenseful, erotic romance that is not to be

Well, I was super excited to get this book. I saw teasers and excerpts posted by Ellie Masters and I commented on how I couldn't wait!
What a debut novel. First off, the author gives you all sorts of information since she knows there will be haters because there are triggers.
She tells you exactly what to expect and how to interpret, and if you're seriously looking to get into the kink lifestyle how you should go about it.
With that said, let's delve in, shall we?
The characters are great. I love the strong, admit to your mistakes, take no shit, dominant alpha female Kate Summers. She is battered and beaten, but she didn't let it destroy her...every day she rises above it.
That is, until she gets a case that closely emulates her previous trauma. That begins her downward spiral into the place she loves and needs, but is more than frightened to go back to. Enter...Jake Davenport.
Master Jake Davenport that is. He is watching Kate work a scene...and he knows something is off. So once he meets her, he's pretty sure she's submissive as hell, playing as the Mistress of Pain. One thing leads to another and Jack is the ONLY way Kate can get to where she needs to go (in more ways than one) and she must willingly change roles...go back to that submissive person she misses every single day.
This story is fraught with feelings. The suspense, the sex, the murder...
I was first and foremost a murder mystery reader...that is until I came across some dark erotica..well then the ball game changed LOL.
So this hits all my happy spots, yeah...pun intended.
It is a wonderful debut novel from a writer that belongs on your 1click list!
You rocked this out of the park Ellie!

WOW WOW WOW!!!! What a fabulous debut book!! Definitely not for the weak, it does have some triggers, so if that’s you, you may want to step away. For those of you who like a good crime mystery and naughty fun with suspense, darkness and edge, this is for you!
Enter Kate, Mistress of Pain and Detective extraordinaire. Unfortunately she is asked by the people who ruined her stellar cop career to track down their daughter’s murderer. In order for her to do that, she must submit herself to an entirely different role. Can she do this with the darkly handsome, blue-eyed Jake? He is absolutely delicious!
Ellie has created such a unique cast of characters. There are a few that make you want to break your kindle in half and then there are scenes that positively melt it! Her story is rich with many emotions – it truly takes you on a journey, even the difficult parts to read. It is a story that stays with you long after you have read it, once you start it, you won’t be able to put it down. What I want to know is - when is your next book coming out!?!
This book was gifted to me by a friend and I am so glad that she did! 5 out of 5 stars. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!

This is a story that has strong elements of BDSM. If you are uncomfortable with BDSM or dark romances, then this story is not for you. But if you enjoy stories about strong, sexy women with secrets who know how to hold their own and aren't afraid to speak their mind like Kate Summers, along with a sexy alpha male, who is a little complicated, but knows what he wants and goes after it like Jake Davenport, while wrapped up in a story that is intelligently written about BDSM that also includes plot twists to keep you guessing, with a great supporting cast of characters, then you're going to LOVE this book. From the very first page to the last, I was glued to it. It is very hard to believe that this is Ellie Masters's debut book. She writes as if she has been doing this for years. The plot flows very well, and the characters are so easy to relate to even if you have NOTHING in common with them. She's a gifted writer who knows how to deliver an amazing book. Trust me, you will not be disappointed when you read "Changing Roles". I look forward to reading more books by the talented Ms. Masters.

If you like strong heroines, alpha males, twists and turn that make your head and heart spin and erotica so hot it makes your panties melt then this book is definitely for you. I didn't realize this book was the authors debut book at first and once I found that out I was even more surprised at amazing it was.
Ellie did an amazing job of mixing multiple plot lines seamlessly in this book. Her knowledge and well written BDSM scenes were some of the best I've ever read. While the book does have some triggers (rape, murder etc) Ellie did an amazing job of not only being extremely considerate of those subjects but still making you feel the loss and anger that one associates with those things.
I fell in love with Kate from the beginning and Jake stole my heart from the very time he opened that oh so dirty mouth of his. Their story is full of twists and turns, hot steamy sex, love, loss and passion. I don't want to give away anything from this book because it worth every single page. I look forward to what Ellie does next.

Kate Summers is a force to be reckon with! The need for control in her life will have you keep reading once the infamous Jake Davenport walks into her life. The struggle to give up some of her control is a battle!
You won't believe the way this book ends and will leave you with a bit of a hangover but the good kind. Kinda like wanting and needing more but also kinda feeling relieved that it ended the way it did!

Do you ever have a book that you read the synopsis and were so curious about the book you couldn't wait to read it? That's how I felt about Changing Roles. From the teasers and synopsis, I was hooked and desperately wanted to read the book. I can honestly say, I had high expectations for this book, and had each one filled and then some.
The characters were well thought out and could feel their emotions as you read the story. You could sense the apprehension in Kate, hating the thought of trusting and submitting to another man, given her past. But Jake continued to chip away at the wall she put up in hopes of winning her heart.
The writing was incredible, and the plot was absolutely amazing. I look forward to the next book Ellie Masters releases.

Book of the year!!!! 10 stars
I loved, loved, loved this amazing story. From the first paragraph to the end. This book is nothing you have ever read before!!! Kate is definitely my new heroine and Jake my new book dark boyfriend. This is by far one of the darkest, steaming, smartest and messed up stories I have ever read. Each chapter entwined me in it's spell, and I found myself begging my eyes to stay open for at least another chapter, even tho it was really late at night . I just couldn't put this book down, with each surprise and twist.
This book captivated each emotion from my heart. My first book by this author and I assure you it won't be my last.
Strongly recommend this book

Amazing book!
Changing Roles was a fantastic read! It had a plot line different then what I've ever read. It spun many different stories in one book. The story of a Mistress and her past issues causing her to turn into something she thought she needed to be for happiness. The story of a Dom who finds the love of his life and the challenge of his life. Oh and let's not forget a little murder mystery thrown in there to make it really exciting! Congratulations Ellie on your first debut novel. Well done!

Kate is known as the mistress of pain in her white leather outfit, but how will she cope when she has to change roles and become the submissive to Jake Davenport.
This book deserves to be read and enjoyed!

Kate Summers, AKA Mistress of Pain, pretty much lost everything; her job, her reputation and the lifestyle that helped her cope with a deeply buried traumatic event from her past. Now she's being drawn back, in order to work a murder investigation. Jake Davenport , co-owner of Stripes BDSM Club, is intrigued by the dispassionate Mistress of Pain, sensing the hurt lying just under the surface. When Kate oversteps safety boundaries, the Stripes governing board chooses to chastise her by making her go through submissive training with Jake as her Master. While it fits in with her murder investigation, Kate is less than pleased at the turn of events. She's inextricably drawn to Jake but is fearful of losing herself to the pain and thrall of another Master. Jake throws her in his approach to Dominance. Instead of using pain to give Kate what she needs, he punishes her with kisses for her infractions. He becomes her partner in the investigation by getting her entry to the Edge, the club where the murder may have taken place. Suddenly, Jake is arrested for the murder based on a DNA match. Kate, the police, the Edge's legal and tech teams all scramble to prove Jake's innocence. Kate is kidnapped along with Jake's partner's fianceé by the murderers. Now it's an all out race to save them.
This book has some heart pounding and adrenaline pumping edge of your seat moments that keep you turning the page to find out what happens next. Be warned! It does get dark in the last quarter of the book. These characters are so well matched, rich and multilayered and the storyline is completely enthralling. You won't be able to put the book down.

Riveting.. Hot and so so good!
Wow.. This story had me from the get go. The thrill.. The suspense.. The cleverness of the storyline.. You find yourself drawn deep within the pages because you need to know if your suspicions are correct. And holy hell the sexual chemistry between the two main characters definitely brings the heat.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a story that's filled with excitement, thrills and scorching hotness. But I will also say there are some intense scenes that could be a little hard to read.. BUT I myself love a good dark mystery.
